I'm a new youtube streamer/Twitch Streamer starting out, and trying to reach out to get to legend for the first time!!! This is like my first real attempt to going full out to getting to legend, and possibly ranking high in legend. I listed a few decks and wanted to see your thought on them, and which one has the best possiblity to reaching higher, and right now i'm currently running with a Highlander Hunter Deck which is not that hard to pilot and has gottend me to Diamond 10 to the current moment. If you guys could please leave your thoughts down below, and thx for the support!!!!

Hunter is probably your best bet when you consider not only the win rate, but the average length of game.

I continue to believe Priest is the most powerful class at the moment, but the games tend to run into 20-25 turn range all the time, so if you're trying to actually climb in a timely fashion, that may not be the best call.

Also, since you've never been up there before, I'll just tell you that trying to reach legend and trying to reach HIGH legend (let's say #100 ish) are two VERY different animals. The meta up at the highest ranks of legend gets crazy and more importantly, it shifts radically by the hour. You'll run into the Zalae/Firebat types who have an equal chance to be seriously testing a tournament deck or completely dicking around with something you've never seen. And you'll start seeing the same opponents repeatedly, which means those guys will start trying to counter pick your deck.

But, all of that is far down the road. Grab your Highlander Dragon Hunter and go to work. HSReplay continues to insist that Demon Hunter is staying up there in the win rates, but it seems to me that by the time you're in High Diamond or Legend, everything people play is built first and foremost to shut down the D . . . emon Hunter.

I'll be joining you in the streaming efforts fairly soon. Waiting for the new rig to come in. Good luck with all that, I hear it can be a rough start getting your first 50-100 consistent viewers. But clearly it can be done, so go for it.

Thank you for all the feedback and support means tons to me!!! Do you think once i get to legend i should shift at that time to Priest or what are your thought on that, but yes like you said i guess keep my head in the current moment i completely agree with you!!! Yeah i dont know if you would like to add me on hearthstone some time, and we can practice some skrimishes and probably ill learn a thing or 2!!!

Highlander Hunter, went 22-7 in 2 days, rank 5 diamond to legend. It wasn't even my intention to try to hit legends, but the deck is pretty strong in the meta, having super good match up and equal match up from what I experienced (no real bad match up).

I am playing this deck in high legend. There are some bad matchups. Specifically tempo DH is a very bad matchup. It gets worse the higher you get since people play the deck better and are teching in cards against warrior which also destroy hunter pretty hard. You can still win but its very very hard on the coin. Easier on the play. Its the worst matchup though. Zoolock is tough too. If they get scrap imp they win and if they dont they lose. Just seems they always have it though lol

True that it always felt the 3 games i playes agains zoo lock like they always pull into double scrap imps, and i just have no way to recover even with a pretty good board state they come back to overwhelm

Thats amazing, i played it one day for 12 games and went 10-2 and was able to climb from plat 5 to diamond 10, yess the matchups extremely matter

I have to focus on World of Warships this next couple of weeks (ranked battles and such), but I will message you when I can get back to Hearthstone with enough attention to make it worth your time.

There are some weird anomalies in the meta right now. Priest is well-poised to have long-term success against Demon Hunter, Warrior, and the All-Out Aggro version of Hunter (Toxic Reinforcements, Scavenger's Ingenuity plus Boar, etc.), but I'm not sure how it's going to fare against the attempts at Control Shaman, Quest Warlock, and the Highlander versions of Hunter.

Either way, the Priest deck is a good one if you actually want to get better at the game. It's a very good exercise in holding the right answers for the right problems. For example, if you find yourself playing against the Spell Druid which features the Glowfly Swarm and Exotic Mountseller, and you decide to blow your Plague of Death on a Swarm with Soul of the Forest, that handles the immediate problem, but you're probably going to die in a couple of turns to Exotic Mountseller plus three or four spells at once. So, you need to try very hard to collect two Holy Novas or Nova plus another cheap AoE to handle the Soul of the Forest issue so you can keep Plague for the worse board state.

I thought of something else you might want to keep in mind. The most successful streamers are NOT those who rely on game play alone to entertain an audience. You have an interesting conundrum because you're trying to play at a higher level and build a stream at the same time, which means you're going to have to get very good at talking to an audience without completely screwing up your play. All that is to say, the priest deck is not the easiest in the world to play at the highest level, so you're going to have to play it by ear.

I imagine things will be clearer as you try out the streaming routine. I'll drop by when I can.

Sounds great, Looking forward to playing with you when you are able to free some time up, and have you as a special guest on my stream. I will look into that priest gameplay, and see how it develops. I played some games last night with Highlander Hunter, and only had mid success secondary to losing quite a few games to priest, and different playstyles form what i noticed in comparison to platinum. Nonetheless completely fun continuing to further improve my gameplay on my way to legend. Yes even though i only had one viewer yesterday it was a little hard trying to speak to "audience" attempting to actually process what some of my plays where going to be, but it is something im just going to have to get used to, and continue the hustle at. But i thank you for your responses means 1000s to me, and loooking forward to our possible gameplay in the future!!!

I have reached legend for the first time with highlander rogue and it is very funny.

The deck is in the signature.

I actually was running that decklist first but could only go as high as platinum 5 where i guess hit a wall while running that deck, so far i switched to face hunter, and it has gotten me to diamond 5 right now ,but kind of bored of the same thing so wanted to switch it up, but thx for the suggestions means 100's to me broski

I actually did my climb this month with Quest Maly Warlock. It's really underrated right now.

Honestly, the meta right now is pretty diverse. You can climb very efficiently with a lot of classes right now.

alright through that how was that run for you, how long it take???

It took roughly 4-5 days for me to go from Diamond 5 to Legend with off and on playing intermixed with working and... Well, life. I had a 59% winrate. But more than that, I found the deck fun, and I was never in a game where I didn't think I had a chance.
